Vanguard Authenticator™
Vanguard Authenticator™ is a secure authentication service built on Vanguard’s Secure Domain architecture. It provides reduced sign on authentication services to users and other enterprise-wide systems. With Vanguard Authenticator, enterprises can maximize IT investments and reduce total cost of ownership by mitigating risks, decreasing authentication costs, streamlining administration of users and saving administration time and overhead.
Most enterprise end users maintain multiple user ID and password combinations. With Vanguard Authenticator, the number of user IDs is significantly decreased; users must only remember and maintain a single password. Vanguard Authenticator allows an ID to be deactivated once, immediately securing multiple access points. Authenticator processes all incoming authentication requests and performs authentication against the z/OS Security Server.
